Bingo. I am sure you are all are sick of me comparing us with Delta but again, they get a preliminary report over there before the final bid award is posted. usually there are no changes but it is a nice idea to kind of have a heads up if things are haywire. Further, everyone can see everyone else's reasons report so you know how people bid, and why they did or did not get certain portions of their bid. They also have the all important bidding wizard to help construct their bid. As you use the wizard it sort of shows what possible results you can get so it should reduce the "how the hell did i get that?" factor. No system is perfect but if we stick with this PBS we need to get something that works and not the cheapest piece of **** that the company is willing to nickel and dime.
